Lyrics
When all these things have gone
They've gone in love and they've gone in wonder
And cracks appear in rocks
As the cabin shakes in thunder
And the local men explain to me
How the soil and the sea, they have no calendar
In nights of cold and rain
We raise our ghosts, they take our blame
We take what we want
From everything we can
All before the ruin
We take what we want
From everything we can
All before the ruin
And you wore my silver ring
In exchange for the ring I wear
As we crumpled our sleep together
I'm still tasting the salt in your hair
Each generation will have
Much less happiness to spare
The night thickens with the rain
And our ghosts appear to take our blame
We take what we want
From everything we can
All before the ruin
We take what we want
From everything we can
All before the ruin
And you can say what you say
But each new day it's a
Walk towards the ruin
Night replaces spring with autumn
Turn your face away
As one by one our thoughts return
The daylight leaves the day
I'll hold your hand towards the ruin
Turn your face away
As lonesome as a distant road
When it's our turn to fade away
When it's our turn to fade away
When it's our turn to fade away
